I'v read, mixing the oil or flavor with milk, 50/50, it suppose to help the additives disperse better and creates a visible cloud, also inserting an Alka -Saltzer tablet into the dead bait, the fizzing of the tab makes the bait twitch, especially popped up bait, you ever tried it?

Theres only one oil I'd put on a Deadbait and its these;

Do i oils make a difference ?? who knows!! but if it give you confidence to use it then use it .
I have to say i,ve not seen any significant difference in results and to be honest it would be difficult to say whether is does, but is can,t hurt to have oils releasing into the flow to hopefully draw the predator to your bait ,but just make sure its a winterised oil

the very same stuff, i've found it as strong and oily as any branded oil , and great value for money.
also, i sometimes fish a maggot feeder rather than a lead, filling it with chopped fish and injected with oil, just to add scent into my swim, again, might not make a differnce, but gives me hope
lol!

i use chopped up rabbit livers and chopped up sardines in an open ended feeder and found this to work well Very Happy

oils dont really work as an attractor they are not soluble in water
most oils in bait are there for food value
they do have a use though with dead baits bar the extra food value

if anything disturbs your bait added oil certainly alerts you to it

anyway my oil of choice
http://www.robinsons-uk.com/products/ProductDetail.asp?ProductCode=76206&campaign=Basefeed

you can get it cheaper that is just the shop near me
also check out the codlivine

any old hands at carping remember that one

true and how many of those are there?

consider this as well most emulsifiers that can be used are not the nicest of chemicals (nutrabaits use only one emulsifier for that reason) and also rely on temprature in a good few cases

use oils it wont do you any harm but think and really think about what they do achieve

flaavours on the other hand especially EA ones work as an attractor weather for pike (when piking this) or on silver fish that then attract pike ive no idea and couldnt prove one way or another

Granted there isn't many, I use what I believe to be the best.

Has anyone tried those paint on flavours?

They should interest anyone looking to spice up their deadbaits.

It shouldn't be too hard to make something like this up, especially for the experienced carpers amongst us. Dip the deadbait before freezing. Just remember to do it when the missus is out.

I have read that mixing with milk 50/50 helps to disperse the oils better..

Ming oil is is a very light oil and disperses evenly and quickly, even in cold water, it does not thicken in cold water like heavier oils, it's also made up with a blend of ming and vegtable oil...

makes more sense than you may have given it credit for milk is an emulsion, and as such is full of emulsifiers

some carpers use condensed milk in spod mixes,it causes a cloud around bait

cavemandom Sat Sep 25, 2010 8:08 pm

just got back from the PAC convention at Kettering, I picked up some Haggis oil, I bought it from Nev Ficklings stall, 100% water soluble, and it's concentrated, it absolutely hum's...
